What is Everdraft™? Everdraft™ is Beem's cash advance feature that allows you to access a portion of your expected paycheck before it arrives — with no interest charges, no credit check, and no mandatory tip. Unlike payday loans, Everdraft™ carries zero APR and repays automatically from your next deposit.

Create Your Beem Account (2 min)

Start by downloading the Beem app on iOS or Android, or applying directly at beemadvanceapp.com. You'll provide:

→Full legal name and date of birth
→U.S. residential address
→Valid email and phone number
→Social Security Number or ITIN

Identity verification is instant in most cases. Beem uses bank-level encryption throughout.

Connect Your Checking Account (1 min)

Link your primary U.S. checking or payroll account. Beem accepts accounts from major banks including Chase, Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Chime, Cash App, and hundreds more. The connection uses read-only access — Beem cannot move money without your permission.

Important: Beem reviews deposit patterns, not credit history. Regular incoming deposits (weekly, biweekly, or irregular gig income) are what matters for eligibility.

Check Your Advance Eligibility (Instant)

Navigate to the Everdraft™ section and tap "Check Now." Beem's algorithm analyzes your account's deposit history and spending patterns and calculates your eligible advance amount:

→Lite Plan ($0.99/mo): Up to $10
→Basic Plan ($2.47/mo): Up to ~$100
→Plus Plan ($5.97/mo): Up to ~$500
→Pro Plan ($12.97/mo): Up to $1,000

Choose Your Transfer Speed (20 sec)

Once you've confirmed your advance amount, choose how you'd like to receive the money:

→Standard ACH — Free, arrives in 1–3 business days
→Instant Transfer — $1–$4 fee, arrives in ~20 minutes

Funds can be sent to your linked bank account or to a linked debit card.

Automatic Repayment — No Due Dates

This is one of Beem's standout features. Unlike payday loans or most credit products, you never need to schedule a repayment manually. Beem automatically deducts the advance amount when your next qualifying deposit arrives in your linked account.

There are no late fees for missing a due date — because there is no due date. Repayment happens organically with your income cycle.

Deep Dive

Beem Cash Advance Security: How Your Data is Protected

Every step of the Beem Cash Advance application process is protected by bank-grade security. Here's exactly what happens with your data at each stage:

Bank Connection: Beem uses Plaid, the industry-standard third-party bank connectivity service trusted by over 7,000 fintech applications including Venmo, Robinhood, and Coinbase. Plaid provides Beem with read-only access to your account data — Beem cannot initiate transfers or payments from your account without your explicit, per-transaction authorization.

Data Transmission: All data between your device and Beem's servers travels via 256-bit TLS/SSL encryption. This is the same encryption standard used by major U.S. banks, the federal government, and e-commerce sites handling payment data.

Data Storage: Your personal information is stored with AES-256 encryption at rest. Beem undergoes regular third-party security audits and maintains SOC 2 compliance standards, which certify its data handling practices meet established security benchmarks.

Pro Tips

10 Tips to Get the Most from Beem Cash Advance

Link your most active account. Don't link a rarely-used savings account. Link the checking account where most of your income deposits land — this gives Beem the most complete picture of your income pattern.

Apply shortly after a deposit lands. Timing your Everdraft™ application to shortly after a deposit arrives shows Beem a healthy positive balance and recent income activity.

Choose the right tier for your needs. Don't start on Pro if Basic covers your typical advance amount. Starting smaller and upgrading is better than paying for unused advance capacity.

Use standard transfer when possible. Save the $1–$4 instant transfer fee for genuine emergencies. Over 12 monthly advances, you'll save $12–$48 annually by defaulting to standard ACH.

Consider the annual Pro plan. If you plan to use Beem Cash Advance regularly, the $99.99/year Pro plan saves $56.65 versus monthly billing while providing the maximum $1,000 advance limit.

After Your Advance

What Happens After You Receive Your Beem Cash Advance

After your advance lands in your account, Beem enters a passive waiting state. No reminders, no statements, no collection calls. Beem simply monitors your linked account for the next qualifying deposit. When that deposit arrives, Beem automatically deducts the advance amount. The deduction appears in your bank statement as a labeled Beem transaction.

If your next deposit is smaller than your advance amount, Beem will collect what it can and wait for subsequent deposits for the remainder. At no point does Beem attempt to collect more than what you received.

Once your advance is fully repaid, you're immediately eligible for a new Everdraft™ advance (if your account activity supports it). There is no mandatory waiting period between advances, though your eligible amount resets based on your current account health.

The Complete Beem Cash Advance Eligibility Guide

Understanding exactly what Beem Cash Advance looks for — and doesn't look for — helps you know whether you'll qualify before you apply. Unlike traditional lenders that rely on credit scores and employment verification, Beem's Everdraft™ system makes eligibility decisions based entirely on your bank account activity.

What Beem Looks At

Deposit frequency: How often money enters your account. Weekly deposits typically qualify faster and at higher limits than monthly. Beem ideally wants to see at least 60 days of deposit history, though 30 days can be sufficient.

Deposit consistency: Regular patterns of similar amounts build algorithmic trust. An account receiving $800–$1,200 every two weeks is more predictable than one receiving highly variable amounts irregularly.

Account age: Newer accounts (under 30 days) may not qualify immediately. Beem generally needs to observe at least 1–2 complete pay cycles to establish a pattern.

Account balance: Consistently positive balances signal financial stability. Accounts with frequent overdrafts or chronic near-zero balances may qualify for lower limits.

What Beem Does NOT Look At

❌ Credit score
FICO, VantageScore, or any bureau data is never checked

❌ Employment status
W-2, 1099, self-employed, unemployed — all treated equally

❌ Employer name
DoorDash, Walmart, SSA, client invoice — all equal

❌ Debt history
Collections, judgments, bankruptcy — not considered

Troubleshooting: Why Your Application Might Be Declined

If Beem declines your application, the most common reasons are: account too new (under 30 days of observable deposit history), insufficient deposit activity (less than 3–4 deposits in the observed period), unsupported bank (Beem uses Plaid; some smaller credit unions may not be connected), or account type mismatch (savings accounts, prepaid cards, and business accounts may not qualify). The fix for most declined applications is waiting 30–60 days to build more deposit history and reapplying.
